Marinade Preparation

Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and your choice of herbs (oregano or thyme are recommended). Whisk the ingredients together until well mixed.

Marinating the Pork

Cut the pork into roughly 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are of a uniform size for even cooking. Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss until they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, to allow the flavors to meld.

Grilling the Kebabs

Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until they are nicely charred on all sides and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes depending on their size.
